I'm trying to create a custom entity that follows you around until you go in water and then attacks you.

 

However, I can't seem to figure out how to move my entity and get it to attack in a task i made.  The entity will just stand there and not move or attack at all.

I know that the everything is reached because i debugged it with some System.out.print's but they still won't do anything.

I'm kinda new to modding, (besides some items), so if anyone could help me, that'd be great ! 

*yelling from the back of the auditorium* update your mod to 1.10.2 at least! 1.7.10 is no longer supported by forge and 1.10.2 is where the majority of the fanbase resides!

*yelling from on stage* i know, i just wanted to make the mod in 1.7.10 first because there is a large amount of people still use 1.7.10 for the 1000+ mod amount.  Then i would make the mod in 1.10.2.

1.10 is already 2 versions old, update to 1.12 !!!! And no, 1.7 got still at least as many players as 1.10.

1.7.10 posts usually will get closed soon. Look at how vanilla code for following works (wolves) and try to copy that. For attacking you might need an own task.
